Regarding “Prayers for Healing” and an update

[Stan Hillis]

Good routine, Daryl.

When I'm shooting sporting I have a tendency to load and shoot fast, especially so when I kill the first pair cleanly. I know then that my lead pictures are right and I want to get to the next pair asap. I really need to change my routine to accommodate a quick view down the bores.

I'm just the opposite Stan, I like to slow down and be deliberate, running the visual sequence through my mind's eye. We both know sometimes you're on and sometimes you're off. I still blow through my barrels and more than once someone on the squad makes mention of it. Every now and then a shot will sound "off". Don't ignore that.

ABSOLUTELY NEVER IGNORE THAT “OFF” SOUNDING SHOT.

Mike Franzen, yes, a wad stuck in the barrel can cause a rupture. I have a Remington 3200 barrel set blown out just ahead of the forend. There was a wad in the barrel and the shooter forgot about it and later loaded and shot it. Another problem area is those dang factory shells. They can't be trusted, so shoot reloads.
